              TRIBUTE TO WALTER GALLO UPON HIS RETIREMENT

 Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire. Mr. President, I rise today to 
honor Walter John Gallo, Vice President for the Endowment at Saint 
Anselm's College, upon his retirement.
  Gallo, who graduated from Saint Anselm's College in 1958, has 
faithfully served the college and the surrounding community for the 
past thirty years. In addition to holding the position of Vice 
President of the Endowment, he has also been Alumni Director and Vice 
President for Development. I applaud his hard work and dedication in 
these positions, raising more than 2.5 million dollars over the last 
fundraising goal and establishing a nationwide alumni network for the 
college.
  In addition to giving to Saint Anselm's College, Gallo is an active 
member of both the local and state communities, as well as several 
national organizations. He has been active with the Council for the 
Advancement and Support of Education, the National Society of Fund 
Raising Executives, Catholic Medical Center, New Hampshire Center for 
the Preforming Arts, the National Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse, 
New Horizons for New Hampshire, the Manchester Diocese School 
Development Committee and the Bedford Library Foundation.
  Walter Gallo is truly an extraordinary individual. He has worked 
tirelessly and selflessly for Saint Anselm's College, the surrounding 
communities, the state and several national organizations while still 
finding time for his family and his personal hobbies which include 
Italian culture, reading, carpentry and sports.
  I commend Walter and wish him the best upon his retirement. It has 
been a pleasure to work with him in years past, and it is truly an 
honor to represent him in the United States Senate.
